Research firm TrendForce issued a report dedicated solely to Apple’s 2015 iPhones, saying that Apple might start mass-production for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus as June. Apple is expected to make new 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch versions this year, and no new 4-inch model is mentioned. Notation: I never believed the idea of a 4-Inch version anyway.

Even though the iPhone 6s won’t match the Galaxy S6 when it comes to the amount of RAM in the phone, it’ll still be bumped up to 2GB, TrendForce says. More RAM that’s also faster should make the iPhone even snappier than it already is; and at least one comparison proved the iPhone 6 can already beat the Galaxy S6 when it comes to graphics performance. Notation: Largely due to the Android Bloatware using up to 2GB of RAM.

The group claims that Apple might finally dump 16GB iPhone models from its lineup, making the 32GB option the base choice for both versions of the iPhone 6s. Apple is seen using TLC NAND flash memory for the 64GB and 128GB versions of its new phones. (Unlikely due to the pull to pay extra for the 64GB which benefits Apple etc)

TrendForce also says in its report that the iPhone 6s is expected to be even slimmer than its predecessor, and Apple will be doing this in part by reducing the thickness of the LED package from 0.6mm to 0.4mm. However, to compensate for a lack of brightness resulting from a smaller LED package size, the new iPhone might feature additional LEDs.

Finally, the LED flash of the iPhone 6s will reportedly feature the same dual-flash LED tech used in the current generation.

In terms of software, TrendForce also mentioned the inclusion of Force Touch in iOS 9, a new way of interacting with touchscreens that’s already available on existing Apple products, including the Apple Watch and select MacBooks.

MY OWN VIEWS: AMOLeD is a possibility for Force Touch, but we will simply have to wait and see.
